I'm really despairing. I'm a lifelong Democrat voter and yet I cannot understand the party on this issue at all. It's so horribly regressive. This feels like the hugest gaslighting imaginable. I was looking for more info and found this

SB 132 will require CDCR to assign housing placement within a correctional facility according to a transgender person’s gender identity unless there are security concerns. By doing so, California will decrease the likelihood of violence against these individuals. The bill also requires that the preferred first name, gender pronoun and honorific of the incarcerated transgender individual be used by facility staff in all communications, and permits incarcerated transgender people to specify the gender of correctional officers who may conduct lawful body searches on them. CWLC’s mission is to break down barriers and advance the potential of women and girls through transformative litigation, policy advocacy and education. SB 132 will help ensure the safety and dignity of incarcerated transgender people. For these reasons, the California Women’s Law Center strongly supports SB 132.

How the FUCK is housing men(over 99% of rapists, over 90% of violent convictions) in women's prisons "advanc[ing] the potential of women and girls"? How the FUCK is forcing female officers to perform body searches on male inmates on demand supporting the rights of women?!

Do they really not see the risk here?! Put penis people in women's prisons, what the fuck do they think will happen? Seriously!

Who is OK with this, and how? Are they naive? Paid off? Severely out of touch with prison realities? A woman signed off on this letter. Why are women throwing each other under the bus like this??

I really feel like I'm losing my mind...

I did ask one of the Democratic CA legislative staffers I spoke with about who would body search these "women." The staffer muttered something indistinguishable and I said, "So female staffers are going to have to search these men who claim to be women? Isn't that sexual assault?"

He murmured something again and I said, "Tell Assembly Member Dipshit that I will hold him responsible for the sexual assault of female prisoners AND prison guards."

These fucking twits. I want whoever voted in favor of SB 132 to to lose their careers, their livelihoods and be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

I don't know what to say. to the extent that women are undervalued in society, female prisoners are especially double-undervalued. Many people won't care about throwing them to the wolves to appease the feelings of rapists and violent thugs.

For years on r/GC we were saying that people were on the cusp of waking up from this delusion, but the scales still haven't fallen from their eyes.

Maybe it's hard to see at night, but in the morning we will see a path forward.

Don't you get it? The only true potential of women and girls is as sexual and, otherwise servicing, objects for men.
